My ThrustMaster T Flight HOTAS throttle not working.

I recently got a new ThrustMaster T Flight Hotas 4 and I am trying to connect it up to FSX. It shows up and the joystick works fine, but the throttle won’t do anything and when I try to set the axis nothing shows up. Everything else works completely works fine. Help?

The firmware incorporates the calibration program.

I use the T.16000M FCS Joystick and TWCS Throttle which share the same drivers and firmware.

You should see your T-Flight driver listed in Programs and Features in the Control Panel.

NB

USE ON PC – IMPORTANT INFORMATION

If you are using the T.Flight Hotas 4 on a Windows 10 PC it is imperative that you install the corresponding PC driver BEFORE you plug in the controller.

If you don't, some axes and/or buttons will NOT work properly.

Hi, I have a follow-up question: I also have a T.Flight Hotas 4, and I installed the driver from Thrustmaster. I am able to map almost all of the buttons and controls as I want, in the Controls Menu, however I cannot map the rudder buttons which are on the front of the thrust handle (where 3rd and pinky fingers go).

Can you suggest how I can get these buttons working for rudder controls?

Strange.
I unloaded my drivers for the saitek throttle. It didn't map to fsx until I did.
And if you use FSUIPC (and most of us do) like I do, then drivers for my thrustmaster flight x aren't needed either?
Windows generic usb device drivers work well enough if needed.

LED could be bad.
Tried a different usb port? Could be bad.
Wiggle the wire? It might have an open.
I assume windows doesn't see it either.
